Zusammenfassung

Das Positionspapier der DGK zu Medikamente freisetzende Stents (DES) und mit Medikamenten beschichtete Ballonkatheter (DCB) fokussiert auf in Deutschland zugelassene und verfügbare Produkte, die in klinischen Studien untersucht wurden. Es sind für alle Produkte randomisierte, kontrollierte klinische Studien mit primärem angiographischem Endpunkt zum Nachweis der antirestenotischen Wirksamkeit und nachfolgend klinische Endpunktstudien zu fordern. Der Einsatz von DES führt im Vergleich zu unbeschichteten Stents (BMS) zu einer Reduktion erneuter Revaskularisationen, während sich die klinischen Endpunkte wie Tod oder Myokardinfarkt nicht ändern. DES sollten bevorzugt bei erhöhtem Risiko einer Instentstenose eingesetzt werden. Bei erhöhtem Risiko für eine Stentthrombose oder zu erwartenden Problemen bei einer verlängerten dualen Thrombozytenaggregationshemmung (DTAH) ist der Einsatz von BMS zu bevorzugen. Die Dauer einer DTAH beträgt 1 Monat nach BMS-Implantation, 1 Monat nach Therapie der BMS-ISR mit DCB, 6 bis 12 Monate nach DES-Implantation bei allen Patienten sowie grundsätzlich 12 Monate nach akutem Koronarsyndrom (ACS) unabhängig von der Art der Intervention.

Abstract

The Position Paper of the German Cardiac Society on drug-eluting stents (DES) and drug-coated balloon catheters (DCB) focuses on products which are approved for use and are available in Germany after successful investigation in clinical trials. Randomized, controlled clinical trials with the primary angiographic endpoint of providing evidence for antirestenotic efficacy should be required for all products as well as subsequent clinical endpoint trials. The use of DES in comparison to bare metal stents (BMS) leads to reduction of repeat revascularizations, while the clinical endpoints such as death or myocardial infarction remain unchanged. DES should be preferred in cases of increased risk for in-stent stenosis (ISR). In cases of elevated risk for stent thrombosis or expected problems of prolonged dual antiplatelet therapy, preference should be given to the use of BMS. The duration of dual antiplatelet therapy should be 1 month after BMS implantation, 1 month after treatment of BMS ISR with DCB, and 6–12 months after DES implantation in all patients and as a matter of principle 12 months after acute coronary syndrome (ACS) irrespective of the type of intervention.
